President Of Dish Spoke The Truth

By offering many news services and programs, “we want to make it exciting for consumers so they'll want to migrate to the VIP series,” Neuman said. He felt the changeover was a “consumer non-event. There's no reason for them to care about MPEG-2 or MPEG-4. The reasons for them to care are the services.


WHAT A JOKE

next thing he is going to pass vaseline so it doesn't hurt much.

At least Charlie could give us a courtesy reach around while he's bending us over.

You guys do realise that not everyone out there is a technophile when it comes to these things, %99.7 of all the people I put hd receivers in for have very little understanding of what hd is other than its a pretty picture on theyr tv set. I've mentioned some of the new compression thats supposed to come around and the equipment and what it will do and they get the 5 year trying to understand chinese look on theyr faces. Who this statement effects in a negative context who will actually see a diference however slight are all of you guys here who would notice if your kid adjusted the hue level by one bar.

Neuman is 100% correct, for 95% of Dish Networks customers they dont care about the equipment they just want their channel x and will do whatever to get that channel.

While us techno geeks talk MPEG4 the adverage consumer does not care as long as they are getting the programming they want.

[gutter]

As much as I wish more customers where tech savy.... Scott is right. They don't care about the how only the how much.

[Sean Mota]

same reason why HD Lite is so dangerous to keep quiet about it. Unless the savvy tech consumer do not speak out against it, nobody will and it will be a normal thing.

so what you are saying E* on 12 million subs has only 600.000 subs that they

care about their equipment (HD and nonHD users) so in reality we are looking at

up to 600.000 HD receivers .

I thought there are over 2 million HD receivers, so would that mean 1.4 million HD users don't care , well i find that hard to swallow.

while i agree about not many people knowing MPEG4 and are not techno geeks

but lets look around how many have HDTV , many don't visit forums but they have friends or neighbors who know things or have lots of money and they get the help they want .
Of those people i can tell you most everyone wants the best picture possible

and they too want to show other friends their HDTV.


So if most people dont care why would they buy new MPEG4 eqipment that they

dont know about


about the programming ,so why hold a news conference about VOOM channels

and MPEG4 equipment that non techno people would not understand and the majority of the subs dont care.

maybe they want us to be the guinea pigs,the testers, the troubleshooters, and to report problems as if we are their employees not on payroll and for us to spread the word.

YOU KNOW WHAT ? YOU CAN COUNT ME OUT

and THE HOW MUCH, i find it very hypocritical for them to complain about lifetime

wanting more money and in return they announce THE RAISING OF PRICES

do they expect people to do the same

MAYBE THATS WHAT WE SHOULD SPREAD OUT.

[Kandiru]

Can i justify getting a 6-700 receiver just to get extra 5 channels of HD when the old ones will still be broadcast in MPEG2 for at least one more year?

No, no, and no again. Vaseline or KY Gel, my rectum stays a one way avenue no matter how much external pressure
